'Another Fine Mess': A serious look at the history of funny movies! (Interv
2011-01-23 00:56:00 Image via WikipediaBy BOB ANDELMAN (email) Mr. Media Radio If it?s a choice between watching drama or comedy, I always pick comedy. Why choose to get all weepy and sad when the other option is to fall off your chair laughing? --------------Listen to my SAUL AUSTERLITZ interview!-------------- I think the die was cast for me back in 1978, when Steve Goldin and I saw Animal House the night it opened at a theater in Princeton, NJ. I had seen comedies before, of course, but none that had ever worn me out. We laughed so hard at the antics of the Delta House gang that we went back again the next night. And quite a few more times after that. Saul Austerlitz would probably make the same choice, I?m guessing. He?s the author of a new book, Another Fine Mess: A History of American Film Comedy. It takes the genre from Charlie Chaplin?whose work I myself studied at the University of Florida many years ago ? to Judd Apatow, whose work I now study from the comfortable of my fami...

Even Groucho Marx Would be Happy With Indonesia?s Profit Opportunities
2008-05-30 17:45:00 At times, you can tell a country by the company it keeps. Indonesia just announced it plans to leave the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the infamous cartel that tries to push our oil prices through the roof. That decision may not seem very significant, but consider it this way: If you were Indonesia, which countries would you rather have as your buddies? A bunch of sleazy, corrupt, idle ?lottery winners? such as Nigeria, Venezuela and Angola? Or would you prefer a set of hard-working and diligent neighbors such as Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand? Not to mention two…SHARETHIS.addEntry({- title: "Even Groucho Marx Would be Happy With Indonesia?s Profit Opportunities", url: "http://jutiagroup.com/2008/05/-30/even-groucho-marx-would-be-h-appy-with-indonesia%e2%80%99s-p-rofit-opportunities/" });

QUEEN Y GROUCHO MARX
2007-10-12 23:26:00 Faltaba poco para finalizar en la frontera de Gales, el que quizás sea el mejor disco de Queen de todos y todavÃa no tenÃa nombre. Sentados los cuatro luego de comer el dÃa sábado iban a ver una pelÃcula en los novedosos (en ese momento) reproductores VHS.Luego de cinco minutos de los hermanos Marx, Freddie y Roger se miraron y dijeron conjuntamente: “Pero es un muy buen tÃtuloâ€."Una noche en la Opera" parecÃa ideal tanto por Rapsodia Bohemia como por el tono conceptual de todo el álbum. Pero habÃa que pedirle permiso al propio Groucho. Y mediante un télex, hasta allà fueron los Queen.Almorzando todos en su casa –menos Deacon que se acobardó a último momento- junto a la enfermera, al representante y a un pianista que tocaba mientras tanto, Groucho decÃa: “Bueno, son cantantes... canten carajo!â€.Antes las disculpas de los tres por no tener en ese momento instrumentos, apareció en la sala de la nada una rústica guitarra española y todos tocaron '39 de May ...

From comedians to social critics, from rockstar pianists to Christian apologists, these luminaries found ...
